What I love about libraries is that whenever I need a book for class, all I have to do is go to the library and get it for free.

as child of immigrant blue collar workers, the public library (old one in Jackson Hgts) was were i learned about the world, literature and the value of books; i still remember the series of Children of the World and many others in the Dewey Decimal system that provided hours of reading.

Books have always held a special place in my heart - a place to explore, a place to escape, a place to adventure, and a place to fly freely. I am now retired, and spend much time away from the city, but can travel there every day, electronically ;-))

New York Libraries have enriched and opened up my kids & I minds with the different programs they offer all around the five boroughs.

I love my library because each book that I read helps me to become a happier, more useful, and better educated citizen.

I could never have gotten crucial information and help about verbal abuse that
I was experiencing, without the help of the e-books I borrowed at the library (without my abuser's knowledge)-- THANK YOU!!
